Step by Step Quick Guide on getting published at Elfwood
---------

First off, please accept our apologies - we know it is a little tricky to get published at Elfwood. The reasons for this are many, mainly its because we have a system where we moderate all content before its published. This leads to some extra steps and waiting time for you, but no worry, here's your personal guide on how to get published at Elfwood:

1. Create a user profile at Elfwood
At the top of the page, in the left corner, click the Join button and follow all instructions carefully.


If you only want to watch and comment, you're finished, but if you want to upload your own works, you need to upgrade. Continue to the next step...

2. Upgrade the user profile
  • Click the 'Profile' button at the top left corner of the screen.
  • Click the 'Tools' menu tab.
  • Click the 'Upgrade this user profile ...'
  • Click on 'All Right!'
  • Click on the area you want to join. (Note: You can join only one area - Science Fiction & Fantasy, Fanquarter, or Wyvern's Library per account/username; if you want to join more than one, you must create additional accounts.)

    • 3. Go to our special upload area (The 'Extranet')
  • Click on the 'Community' menu item in the left menu.
  • Click on 'Upload here!'

    • 4. Upload
  • Click on the Upload New Picture or Upload New Story icons
  • Click on the 'Click here to upload a NEW...' button
  • Fill out details about your material (Yeah, we need all of it)
  • In the last field, click the 'Browse' button to locate your file
  • Click the 'Upload' button
  • [[ Repeat this step several times - you need atleast 2 stories or 4 pictures!]]

    • 5. Apply for moderation - send us a Ticket!
  • Click the 'Publish Changes' button
  • Go through the process (it's several steps) - if any errors are found, you must go and fix them, then click this button again when done.

    • 6. Wait
    OK, now your material is uploaded and a 'Ticket' was created. The ticket is a summary of all changes you've made, and has to be manually reviewed by a real person (A Moderator) before anything is published at the main site of Elfwood.

    How do you (I) upload Fan art pictures?

    :-) Thomas F Abrahamsson replies: "Create another, additional account."

    Okay I was trying to upoald some fantasy pictures and it keeps saying that fan art account doesn’t exist and to fix it here (8 alis D). I’m not sure what to do.

    :-) Thomas F Abrahamsson replies: "There is no user ID at Elfwood called ’xmenrule’ in the FanQuarter area. You have entered this user ID under your Personal Information as an Account for the ’FanQuarter’ area. (The reason you can enter a user ID there is to make a link (like a tab) to that other page of yours at Elfwood). However, since this account does not exist, please just remove ’xmenrule’ from the line saying My Elfwood FanQuarter Account (user id), and this problem should be gone. If you ever enter that area with another User ID, you can enter that User ID name in that field.

    I have improved the error message now for that problem, so it should be more obvious what’s wrong and what to do."

    I uploaded something but I can’t find it! Where is it?
    24 Apr 2008:-) Shalane Leigh Jarnagin
    Was wondering the status of my uploads, how do I check?
    30 Apr 2008:-) Serethiel Raventhorn
    I’m still lost. I cant seem to be able to get pictures up!
    Whenever I hit "Upload" It always says I dont have a Wayvern account and A fan art account.
    How do I fix it?

    :-) Thomas F Abrahamsson replies: "Just read (again) what it says carefully - it actually tells you what’s wrong and how to fix it. "
